Answer 2

U.of C. in Davis California in simple terms had somewhat achieved on them on the nationwide Geographic Channel the place they did DNA marker checking out to song cats back to their beginning/source. This application in simple terms ran some days in the past. Their checking out indicated that cats from Turkey and Egypt had the main distinctive genetic markers with the cats from the main remoted backwaters of Egypt having the main of all. so a approaches as domestication it feels like the Turks win that around with the oldest cat mummies at 9500 years previous. The Egyptians domesticated cats some thousand years later.

Answer 3

They originated from their mother just like all mammals. Evilution (I spelled it this way on purpose) is the biggest scam in the world. There is no scientific evidence that proves that anything evolved and there is much scientific evidence that any kind of evolution is scientifically impossible.



The whole point of the "Theory" of evolution is to try and think of a cause for everything that leaves out GOD. Can't be done.

Answer 4

Yes they did evolve and still doing so, as are all living creatures. There would have been many sources and many original cats all over the world, as there are today, not all coming from larger cats, tigers or whatever.

Answer 5

Well, we don't know for sure. I mean, how could we? We have NO (NONE WHATSOEVER) evidence that they went through evolution.



We have TRUE (LOTS AND LOTS OF EVIDENCE) that the world was created by God.



They didn't "evolve". God created them. How do you know all of your "evolution" evidence is true? I know mine is true, I have the WORLD to prove it. We have many books, with explanations that make sense. Not all the lies evolutionists feed you. Go ahead thumbs me down, that is just cause all of you people can't handle the pure and utter truth. ;)



Thanks for the thumbs down! :D





VICKY S:



Just because "you live with cats" doesn't make you an expert. I for one am NOT evolving. "OOOH, my pet apes hands and face are changing into humans!" No. Sheesh, animals DIE, they don't take MILLIONS OF YEARS to evolve. It is called "common sense".

Answer 6

I know the first domesticated cats were found in Egypt.

Answer 7

yes i believe it was the saber tooth tiger that cats originated from
